Some do give discounts for SCCA Hillclimbers! Also, be aware that many of the chalets divided by 2 couples are cheaper than hotels and very nice. Graham County appreciates us and is looking forward to our event!

SCCA HILLCLIMB RACING!!!!

Welcome to the Chasing the Dragon Hillclimb website! The Dragon Hillclimb is a Sports Car Club of America Time Trial event - competition licensed drivers in prepared sports cars race one at a time up a 2 mile mountain road in class competition. The course is located near The Tail of the Dragon in beautiful Robbinsville, NC - Graham County. The road we race is on the edge of the Nantahala Forest where spectators, course workers and drivers enjoy some of North Carolina's most beautiful mountain scenery! We invite you to join us as a driver, a worker, event staff or as a spectator for a true SOUTHERN tradition that began in the 50's...HILLCLIMB! There is nothing like it !
